    Your Millage May Vary is seldom challenged. It is often folks have similar results, but less often that things turn out without some variance.

    Besides, just because something works for me in my shop doesn't mean it will be the best method in someone else's shop.

    I don't think I've ever challenged Jim about that because he uses it in proper circumstances.

    I've certainly challenged people who say things along the lines of "the Earth is flat, YMMV so don't argue with me". For YMMV to be a valid response there actually has to be, you know, *variability*.

I push it sometimes now, but generally I'm sharpening way more than I was when I first started hand planing or finish planing.
    I hope that "Sharpening way more" means "sharpening more frequently, but less total time spent sharpening." Or maybe it means "the quality of my planing work product has improved and/or become easier?" YMMV?

    Hah! All of the above? My mileage does vary.
